Oranne Lee Eichorn resides in Shingle
Springs, CA, where she moved when retiring from teaching in Santa Barbara for
25 years. As a teacher, she brought the curriculum alive for her students by
integrating art into every subject from social studies to science to math. Oranne studied art with instructors at UC
Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art
in watercolor, pastels, and oil. Since
her move, she has enjoyed a number of workshops with local artists, including
The School of Light and Color, Randall Tillery, and Anita Wolff, with emphasis on still life and
landscape in oils.

Fascinated her whole life with mountain
scenery, especially
Yosemite, she is thrilled to discover so many local landscapes just waiting to
be painted, from the American River to snowy Icehouse trails. While her husband
fishes, she paints. Her entry in the
Mother Lode Show reflects the scenery she found kayaking at our local Wright’s
Lake.

Oranne is an active award-winning participant
and board member of the Placerville Art Association. Her work has also been accepted into the
Motherlode Show, a juried Western Region competition, and the Ironstone
Vineyard Tulip Festival Show in Murphys.
She currently shows her work at the Gold Country Artists’ Gallery in
Placerville.
